SALAE DE UYUNI

Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world covering an area of ​​10,582 kilometers as well as the largest natural mirror in the world. Located between Potosi and Oruro, near the summit of the Andes Mountains, Bolivia's salt flats were formed by several prehistoric lakes, which changed shape some 30,000 to 42,000 years ago. Its surface is covered with a layer of salt several feet high, keeping the plains dry all year round #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

The salt lake in Bolivia is the best place to capture the reflection of Milky Way. If you want to get a perfect reflection, you need to wait for a moment with no wind and shoot at a low-level angle.

Having a little bit of a fun with a forced perspective shot! The huge scale of the salt flats out in Bolivia offer fun opportunties to play around with different perspectives.

Cactus Island

Cactus Island, officially known as Isla Incahuasi, is located in the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia, South America. What's unique about this island is that it is covered with large cacti of various unique shapes, some of which are even covered with algal fossils. These cacti range in height from 1 meter to 12 meters, forming a very shocking cactus forest. However, with humans mining lithium from the bottom of the salt flat, this spectacular sight may change. It's worth noting that "Cactus Island" is also an island in "One Piece". It is the first island where the Straw Hat crew landed on the Grand Line, and it is the main stage of the Whiskey Peak Arc. This phenomenon of the same name also reflects that Cactus Island has a certain degree of fame and influence in both reality and fictional works.

The driver responsible for our trip arrived at the heart of the idea: Cactus Island said that the island is actually a raised hillside in the Uyuni Salt Lake, the entire hillside is full of large and small cacti, buy tickets in the cactus The shuttle in the world, my heart still sighs the depression of the morning sunrise, if we start on time, we must see the sunrise far more than two minutes. Even in the dry season, Uyuni Salt Lake is equally spectacular, with the world's white crystalline salt, giving you a sense of purity, the skilled driver will drive the car to the depths of the salt lake, teach you the most common in the salt lake Take pictures and visit the buildings in the middle of the salt lake. For every visitor, this is a brand new world!

September 24th Square, the Church of Santa Cruz

The Church of Santa Cruz is laid out in a radiating pattern, and the September 24th Square in the city center is a landmark where history and modernity intersect. Surrounding it are the Church of Santa Cruz, City Hall, City Museum, Tourist Office, and business centers. Casa Cultural Melchor Pinto Melchor was a famous politician and doctor in Santa Cruz, and his former residence has now been transformed into a cozy café and restaurant, with a museum interspersed within its gardens. The Church of Santa Cruz I was very fortunate to catch the Holy Week, and at 7 pm the church opened for mass. Museum Beni Altillo The city museum features an introduction to the history of Santa Cruz and thematic exhibitions, and the rooftop terrace offers a panoramic view of the city. The city's tourist office is diagonally across from the church and, in addition to exhibitions, the staff provide detailed information about local tourist attractions. Bars on the second floor and in the upper levels of shopping malls offer distant views of the square. If you're lucky, sitting by the street, you can hear street artists performing moving Spanish love songs. Crossing the square, you can see elderly people playing international chess. On an evening filled with yellow and white skin, pigeons, religion, and commercial life, one can't help but think of the dawn on another hemisphere... Temperature: Some call Santa Cruz the Miami of Bolivia. It's warm all year round, with temperatures in the twenties and thirties. Short sleeves are enough. As for food, although Bolivian beef isn't as good as Brazil's, it still offers good value for money. Salteña is a local Bolivian pastry that is quite good; go for the ones with meat, as the pure cheese ones are average. Quinoa is locally produced in abundance. The city's northwest part, near the river, is a more modern business center, especially near Barrio Equipetrol. There are many high-end hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and bars. Chairú Eco Hotel I recommend this hotel for its great value for money, especially since you can walk 5 minutes to eat very authentic Chinese food at San Yuan Chinese Food. In crowded places, you can take a Taxi car, and Uber is even more convenient. When traveling to Bolivia, it is recommended to buy a local SIM card and top up for internet access. You can buy them at roadside stalls, print shops, etc., and they are quite cheap. Roaming is more expensive. The cost of living in Bolivia is similar to that in China. The development of Santa Cruz has been concentrated in the last hundred or two hundred years. It is a charming city suitable for a comfortable experience of Latin American charm.
